It is common to conduct research in developing countries, research should be profitable or not harmful but in some countries research is carried out beyond the limits. There is no such thing as a hindrance to them and they keep using whatever ideas they think they like. Why I am saying this because Chinese scientists have cloned three super cows successfully.We never imagined that such a thing would be possible.
Clones of Super cow’s in NW China to help avoid stranglehold in
the dairy industry: Project leader
Global Times
If you look at why this was done, most of China has 70% imported cows from overseas, they have to depend on other countries for milk. China is trying to avoid depending on other countries.

Super Cow’s Experiment
This research was done by the North West University in Shaanxi province. Holstein is the highest milk producer in the world. took a clone from a Holstein breed, 120 cloned embryos were made from cow ear cells and placed in surrogate cows. After 9 months, three claves were born in the Ningxia region. it produces 18 tons of milk per year. It means the life span of a cow produces 100 tons of milk, which means 1.7 tons more than normal cows. compared to normal cows only 10.8 tons of milk are produced on average. This is not the first time. cloning has been done in china, on wolves before.
showering praise on Scientists it is very useful for the development of the dairy industry.
Hybrid vs clone
A hybrid cow is a crossbred animal resulting from the mating of two different breeds or species, whereas a cloned cow is a genetically identical copy of another cow. In this process, the genetic material from a single donor cow is transferred into an egg that has had its own genetic material removed, resulting in an animal with the same genetic code as the donor. Cloning is used for preserving superior genetics and for increasing the number of genetically superior animals for breeding purposes.

High-milk producing breed
Dairy cows of certain breeds tend to produce more milk than others. Some of the most common high-milk producing breeds are Holstein, Ayrshire, Guernsey, Jersey, and Brown Swiss. These breeds have been selectively bred over time to have higher milk production capabilities and are often used in commercial dairy farming operations.Reference from wion
